Seaside Fire Launches Performance Dashboard

Since 1954 the Seaside Fire Department has been responding to emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This Performance Dashboard was created as a tool to showcase our commitment to the community to be transparent and to ensure that we continue to meet their expectations. It serves as a way for the community to visualize how we are measuring up against the performance goals that we have established.
